How to Help me Achieve my Dreams!!!

Just wanted to share the website you can go to to donate to my competitions. I feel like I have found my niche, I feel this is part of my calling, and I invite you to donate and be a part of that. Here are a couple pictures my coach put together which have inspired me, helped me to keep moving forward  and believe that dreams are possible!
I want to keep competing and see how far it can take me, but the funds to compete come second to the monthly bills. Dreams shouldn't have to wait for money, but sometimes they do. If you want to help and donate, go to this website and make your contribution. I promise it will all go to necessary competition funds!

2 Weeks Out!!!

I am two weeks out now from my competition. Got my hotel room, all registered, and have my tanning session set!!! I am officially done with school now (until the fall) and I have time to just train! I have been struggling with leaning out for this competition, probably the stress from having four classes AND having to spend about 2 hours in the gym daily! I also have been learning more about my body and listening to it more. I am gaining knowledge on food and nutrition, and also lack of nutrition. I have made a decision, without getting into the details, to eat clean and well rounded. No more "depletion" of anything, except junk food :) My body was responding very negatively to low carbs and low fat so I have made the decision to eat clean, up my good carb and good fat and keep my protein where its at. This decision was hard because I may not be lean enough for the show on the 30th, BUT I will feel better and look healthier! 
This is my goal and promise to myself as a bikini competitor!
*I will eat clean year round!
*I will not starve my body of nutrients it needs to function and then binge on junk because I am so depleted!
*I will fight against pressure and popular beliefs in the competitor world to avoid an eating disorder!
*I will treat my body right, and listen to what it is saying to me!
*I will get better and better every year, by doing all of the above!
*I will enjoy my body in the process, and be proud of how far I have come!

Here are my most recent progress pics: NEXT pics will be after the competition!!! Be looking for them!!!
